(1)
10(1+3x)=-20
Cross multiply.
10+30x=-20
Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
30x=-20-10
Subtract 10 from -20.
30x=-30
Divide each side by 30 to get x.
30x÷30=-30÷30
Therefore,
x=-1
(2)
-5x-8(1+7x)=-8
Cross multiply -8(1+7x)
-5x-8-56x=-8
Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
-5x-56x=-8+8
Add 8 to -8.
-5x-56x=0
Subtract -56x from -5x
-61x=0
Divide each side by -61
-61x÷-61=0÷-61
Therefore,
x=0
Answer:
7 Hours 12 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.
Answer:
US Pints: 2.5, Imperial Pints: ~2.1 (If you live in the US, do 2.5, but if not, then do ~2.1.)
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, we need to convert fluid ounces to US pints. To do this, you divide the amount of fluid ounces by 16. When we divide 40 by 16, we get 2.5. This means that the soup needs 2.5 pints of water. If you are talking about imperial pints, then we divide the amount of fluid ounces by 19.215. This gets us 2.08, which we can round to 2.1. If you live in the US, do 2.5, but if not, then do ~2.1. I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -1/2 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for <em>x</em>: Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
Using the quadratic formula: Solve the equation for x by finding a, b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula.
